Where Next?

Personalised Learning is… … about tailoring education to ensure that every pupil achieves and reaches the highest standards possible. It is also about personalising the school experience to enable pupils to focus on their learning and involve the community.

The Five Components of Personalised Learning Assessment for Learning Effective Teaching and Learning Curriculum Enrichment and Choice Organising the School for Personalised Learning Beyond the Classroom

Personalisation QCA Futures Renewing the Frameworks Early Years Foundation Stage Remodelling agenda

Curriculum Innovation Networks Build the vision: re-energise curriculum debate and development Re-new debate in the moral purpose for education and schools Create a national climate for curriculum thinking and innovation 21 st Century curriculum: “What does a good one look like?” A design standard not a prescription. In a spirit of co-development and investigation From ‘top down’ to ‘co-designing’ – “sharing” and “borrowing” and making together Building capacity locally and nationally – “sustainable leadership” Unleash the energy and ideas of schools and their communities - “Catch-up and stretch” policy Disciplined innovation and investigation - Identify, stimulate and share best and next practice Local impact : national consequence Improving your school: improving the system “School leaders must have a greater stake in the development of broader education policy.”

Reviewing the Frameworks – Five Key Areas that Schools are Encouraged to Consider  Encouraging flexibility in the organisation of the curriculum and the structure of literacy and mathematics lessons  Structuring learning over sequences of lessons as well as within lessons  Raising expectations for all children, especially those at greatest risk of underachievement  More effective use of assessment to inform and direct teaching and learning  Broadening and strengthening pedagogy to include a clearer focus on inclusion, the use of ICT, speaking, listening and learning, and in developing core areas of learning in literacy and mathematics across the curriculum

Wave 1 Quality first teaching Effective whole-school policies and frameworks Wave 2 Catch-up small group intervention Wave 3 Individualised support

Within our leadership team how do we … share, agree and disseminate our vision, aspirations and improvement strategies with the wider community? identify and develop our expertise and define and communicate our roles and responsibilities in supporting our aspirations? report back to and support each other and all staff in raising expectations, and in improving teaching and standards for all our children? establish whole-school accountability based on common success criteria and ensure accountability to the wider community? lead and manage improvement in literacy and mathematics and sustain improvement across the curriculum? Five Key Questions

Implications?
